《第二次世界大战中的女性》探讨了在武装部队服役或免费服役的女性的经历。这本书通过采访、轶事、回忆录和/或女性（或在适当的情况下，她们的孩子）的叙述，讲述了女性的个人生活，以及她们在服役期间的特殊经历。
她们都是普通的英国女性，在这里用她们自己的话讲述了她们的服役经历。
他们的叙述涵盖了所有方面，从著名的战役，如卡西诺山战役，到被龙卷风摧毁的船只，再到简单的善举，这些行为本身似乎什么都没有，但同时对这些年轻女性来说意味着非常特殊的东西，甚至在六十年后，人们都会怀念她们。
书中所描述的各种各样的服务和经历反映了女性对战争的贡献是多么广泛，从耕种下面的土壤到为即将升空的飞机发动机提供服务，以及其间的一切。
Women in the Second World War
Women in the Second World War explores the experiences of women who served in the armed forces, or complimentary services. Using interviews, anecdotes, memoirs and/or accounts from the women (or, where appropriate, their children), the book tells the women’s personal accounts of what their lives were like and what particular experiences they had while serving.
They were all ordinary British women, and tell here in their own words their experiences on active service.
Their accounts cover the whole spectrum, from famous battles, such as Monte Cassino, to being shipwrecked by a tornado, to simple acts of kindness, which in themselves seem nothing, but at the same time meant something very special to those young women, and were fondly remembered, even sixty years afterwards.
The huge variety of services and experiences featured in the book reflect how widely spread the women’s contribution to the war effort was, from tilling the soil below, to servicing the engines of aircraft about to take off to the sky above, and everything in between.
